The natural sound of your breath is like a prayer welcoming you to the day. On waking, become aware of your breathing before you do anything else. Notice how the inhalation makes the sound SO. The, as our exhale, notice how it makes the sound HAM (or "hum"). In Sanskrit; soham means "He am I" - "He" refers to God, or the creative force of nature, so your breath links you with the divine. For centuries, yogic sages have explained that this unconscious repetitive prayer (ajapa japa) goes on continuously within every living creature.
